| Fall Y Guides Information |
Our Y Guides program focuses on strengthening the father-child relationship through one-on-one activities that help fathers and children grow closer and form memories that last a lifetime.
You and six to 10 other father/child pairs form a Crew. Crews meet about twice a month for activities and outings.
Y Guides crew formation starts during the summer and now is a great time to find a crew and join up.
